Hi Steve, Thanks! The problem actually turned out to be a perfect storm of user error:
1) I was not aware that Unicode fonts, like Aruvarb, must NOT be added to MacSymbolFonts.txt or they will not display correctly. 2) I had Aruvarb included in the MacSymbolFonts.txt file in my MacHD/Library… folder, and since the font was working for me, I concluded that this meant the font SHOULD be included in MacSymbolFonts.txt. 3) But as it turns out, the MacSymbolFonts.txt I was looking at was actually being overriden by the MacSymbolFonts.txt in my user Library… folder — and in that version, Aruvarb was NOT included in the file. As a result of the above, I gave the incorrect instructions to my collaborator that the font needed to be included in MacSymbolFonts.txt, when in fact the opposite was true. My bad!
